“A photograph is memory in the raw. ”
~Carrie Latet
I had a wonderful response to last week’s {wall art wednesday}. I find it is a challenge for most people in this busy world to give thought to taking their photos out of albums and onto their walls. Give your photographs and memories the place they deserve in your home. Make a statement and go big. You really will adore it and be so happy you did. Here are a few more ideas to get you started…
I just love this one…I have a very similar photo of my two kiddos and they are around the same ages, too. Think I should blow it up and put it in our bedroom? 
One photograph blown up big can make such an impact, don’t you think?

How fun! I bet you would never think to put your frames this close together and in this pattern…look how they are all different sizes, too. Might be pretty easy to do, don’t you think?

This one is similar to the previous wall display…I just love how it wraps around the corner! So unique!

Just by grouping six or more (I love at least nine even more) frames of the same size together, you are making a huge statement. This is pretty much what I have on the wall in the office except the frames are all square. I.love.it.

What have you done to make a statement in your own home with photographs? Share with us! I can’t wait to share some of my client images…thanks to those that have already shared!

Such a beautiful wedding and a gorgeous couple. I cannot wait to post a full sneak peek (today or tomorrow!). There are just so many special and gorgeous moments to this weekend’s wedding. A sampling: bed-jumping, giggling with BFFs, tears of joy, sunflare as vows are being said, In N Out, a vintage red bike + crazy well-wishers striking poses for the photo booth! Can’t wait…can you? Stay tuned…
xoxo,

So, when we moved here two and a half years ago, Jack was just over a year old. We joined a meetup, made some amazing friends and got out and did things. A lot. I remember the girls and I having to make a point to schedule time to stay at home just so we could get housework done–that was how often we did things! Things slowed down a bit when Addison was born, but I am back to enjoying a packed calendar with tons of fun things to do with my children. I love exposing them to awesome new places and experiences, and love when they can “get their wiggles out”. And hey, let’s be honest–I also love when the added bonus is that they get all tuckered out and take awesome naps so mommy can get work done. I am always on the lookout for new places, but we also have quite a few regular favorites.
This blog feature–which I hope to make a regular one–was born after chatting with a fellow mom wondering what things there were to do around town. I actually get asked this same question quite a bit from my clients that have just become moms. There is so, so very much to take advantage of around the Valley. Get out and further enrich your child’s life and spend some quality time learning something new–or just push them on a swing with the breeze blowing through your hair at a park you’ve never been to!
First up is one of my faves–Jack LOVES it, and so do I. The Arizona Museum for Youth (AMY) is located in downtown Mesa and has inside of it a place called Artville. Oh, Artville, how we love thee…particularly on blazing summer days. Artville is an interactive play area for children ages birth-5 years old. I highly recommend purchasing an annual pass as it can quickly add up if you go there a lot. Children under a year are free, and there is a great little padded play area for kiddos under one. It has mirrors for them to look in and soft little hills for them to crawl over. The exhibits in the actual museum rotate (right now there is Play Ball, there is also Sounds like Art right now).
This photo gives you an idea of how long we have been going to Artville…doesn’t my now-three year old look so little here?
If you head out to Artville, or are already a regular, I would love to know how you love it too! Leave me a comment to share your own experiences!
xoxo,
laura

So, it’s no secret that I adore all that designer Stephanie of Ivy and A creates. I must share some of my shoots that I have had the pleasure of photographing with my clients wearing her ahhhh-mazing clothing. How happy would I be if your kiddo showed up in one of these outfits?! Happy, I tell you! Stephanie just has a knack for pairing uber-cool fabrics with one another in the most adorable boutique designs. Her style really lends itself well to style of photography, too. Bright pops of colors, fresh style and contemporary textiles. I swoon each time I see a new design, seriously. Her outfits are so fun to accessorize and the possibilities for your session are endless! Don’t you just want to smile just looking at all these sweeties having fun?

“Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero. “
~Marc Brown
We had so.much.fun with this session! During a session, I love to just walk around and explore an area, and inspiration hits me at the oddest times. When I spotted an abandoned shopping cart in front of an old, blue car repair shop, my mind just swirled with fun possibilities. Luckily, this family was up for the fun and trusted my vision–as crazy as it sounded. The shopping cart images are some of my favorites from the session. Don’t they just look so close and fun all piled in there with Dad wheeling them?!
These two brothers are so close in age and love cars, trucks and each other. It is so obvious…despite the good-natured lip-pinching–you’ve been caught on camera, sweet Finley! He-he! Mom Grace is the owner and designer behind Finley and Oliver, and she made these most adorable tees that her boys are wearing. You might remember her from a giveaway we had earlier on the blog. They are a stylin’ fam, I tell you! I loved everything–right down to their shoes! You all rock, thanks!

“A sibling may be the keeper of one’s identity, the only person with the keys to one’s unfettered, more fundamental self. ”
~Marian Sandmaier
These two cuties were so full of energy! I just loved how they warmed up to me and then ran, jumped, explored and played–just how I love sessions with children to be. What a bond these two already have, too. It is wonderful to watch how they interact with one another–how fun to have a playmate to have this much fun with! I guess it is because I now have two of my own, but I just love watching sibling relationships at work. Thanks for a fun session, it was wonderful to meet you!
